Front prop shaft removal

I must be really dumb! I'm trying to get the front prop shaft off (rear end) but the nuts and bolts are in a right mess. I would have a better chance if I could rotate the shaft for better access. Will I have to get all 4 wheels off the ground to do this? Anyone??

Lift the front end so both wheels off the ground and put both gearbox's in neutral you'll be able to turn prop by turning a wheel

That's brill - thanks

make sure you chock the back wheels really well, if the box's are in neutral and you lift the front wheels off the ground your hand brake is as good as useless!!

Thanks - will do.

Managed to turn prop with just one wheel off (N/S). Much easier to get to the bolts apart from a support cross member that's right in the way. But it's off now and just need to get the old bearing out. Thanks for the advice.
